Riassunto

The follow-up to Professor Wheelock's bestselling, highly-esteemed introductory Latin book, this relaunch of Wheelock's Latin Reader marks the first time this classic book has ever been significantly revised. Featuring all new photos and discussion questions, the Reader is the ideal intermediate Latin reader to follow the bestselling Wheelock's Latin and other introductory texts.

This classic book, originally published in 1967, features a rich selection of original readings from ancient and medieval writings, all of which hold meaning and relevance for today's readers. It includes more than 50 original, unsimplified selections from writers such as Cicero, Livy, Pliny, and Caedmon, along with brief introductions, translation notes, and an extensive vocabulary section. Specially designed to be used by intermediate students who have completed any first year Latin program, Wheelock's Latin Reader succeeds both in enlarging fundamental grammar skills and preparing students to go on to read longer Latin writings with confidence.

This new 2nd edition marks the first time this book has ever been updated. Revised throughout, it features a new, more user-friendly organization which puts notes side by side with the selections; maps of ancient Italy, Greece, and the Roman empire; and numerous new photographs illustrating aspects of classical culture presented in the book's readings.
